A Death in Paradise spin-off actor has announced his comeback following his devastating departure.
The second series of Return to Paradise concluded in sorrow after Glenn (Tai Hara) and Daisy (Andrea Demetriades) failed to tie the knot.
Following a murder during their nuptials, Mackenzie Clarke (Anna Samson) and Colin Cartwright (Lloyd Griffith) set about attempting to crack the case so the pair could exchange their vows.
Yet ultimately, Daisy admitted she couldn’t wed Glenn, as she recognised, deep down, that he still harboured feelings for Mack.
With the ceremony cancelled, a devastated Glenn chose to depart Dolphin Cove and informed Mack he was uncertain when, or whether, he would return, reports the Express.

During the poignant moment, Mack questioned Glenn, “Did I ruin your wedding? I won’t come the next time you do it.”
“We won’t be redoing it,” Glenn clarified while continuing to load up his vehicle.
He went on, “I am the reason everything falls apart, two weddings so far, and what do they have in common? Something is not right, and I am not going to figure out what it is by living the same life in the same place.
“How long are you going for?” Mack enquired, to which Glenn responded, “A while, Mackenzie. A long while.”

Nevertheless, it appears Glenn’s absence from Dolphin Cove proved brief, as he verified he would return for the third series with several photographs from the second run.
Posting on Instagram, the performer wrote alongside the backstage images, “Halfway through filming S3. Here’s some BTS from S2.” Fans were delighted by the news and flocked to the comment section to express their enthusiasm. One person commented, “So so excited for season 3!! I can’t wait!! Such beautiful memories.”
A second viewer remarked, “Best job ever? Looks like it! Break a leg for S3.”
While a third chimed in, “Can’t wait!! I miss Mackenzie and Glenn.”
Another fan continued, “I cannot wait! Love the show.”
